Turkey and cheese covers protein and fat. The banana covers carbohydrates, potassium, etc. The chips were likely Lays or some such thing which don’t contain trans fats, so that’s poly- and monounsaturated fats plus the potato, a starch. And the apple juice is probably sugary but at least provides some nutrients and more carbs. This is a typical, relatively healthy lunch for a child, IMO.

Kids run around and play so much that they probably burn off this lunch in less than half a day at school.

This nation has become completely engulfed by the Federal government. We are no longer “We The People,” folks. The Federal government has usurped our authority to self-govern.

I agree. It is actually a perfect (and lovingly hand made) lunch that ensures the child both nutrition and energy for the rest of the school day.

You must be living in a cave,lol, don't you know it's unsafe for kiddies to run around and play they might fall or hurt each other they must do what the Nazi leaders say, no ball playing ,running ,swings, jungle gyms, etc etc.

You are playing right into the hands of the school/lunch nazis by trying to justify the nutritional value of the lunch the child brought from home. It doesn't matter what the nutritional value of the child's lunch is and it should never even enter the argument. What the parents pack for their child's lunch is none of our damn business.
